On this week of Tonight's Second Feature James & Rhys explore John Carpenters The Fog.

The Fog, released in 1980, was writer and director John Carpenter's third entry into the horror genre. Alongside perhaps his most important collaborator, Deborah Hill, the pair co-wrote and produced a film harking back to ghost stories of old.

On the eve of celebrating its Centennial, strange poltergeist activities disrupt the small coastal town of Antonio Bay. Not long after, a mysterious fog bank rolls in, bringing with it the revengeful ghost of the Elizabeth Dane.

On our last episode of Season 0 we get warmed up with one last entry of James' personal favourites. But beware…the fog may come for you!
